using the unittest module in Python 2.3.5, I've written some test code
that ends up with
if __name__ == "__main__":
unittest.main()
Since I want to run this code in various environments, I'd initially
added some commandline options, e.g. to specify a configuration file
like so
test.py -c devtest.conf
or
test.py -c localtest.conf
etc.
However, unittest also looks for options on the commandline, and it
was complaining about unrecognized options and quitting.
I've poked around to see if I could delete the options my earlier code
consumed from the commandline buffer, before invoking unittest, but
that seems klugy. Instead, I hardwired in a testing config file name,
that always has to be local. That works pretty well, but it leaves me
wonderfing whether there would have been another clean way to allow
both my test code and unittest to have options without interfering
with one another. 2 1336

You can pass argv as a parameter to main(), so I think the best bet is
simply to build up a new argv with the options that you want to pass
through.
Another option would be to subclass unittest.TestPr ogram and override
parseArgs, but you'd have to copy & modify it as it doesn't seem to have
been designed to be easily extendable.

Aha! I scanned through my python 2.4 installataion and found this in
unittest
def __init__(self, module='__main_ _', defaultTest=Non e,
argv=None, testRunner=None ,
testLoader=defa ultTestLoader):
if type(module) == type(''):
self.module = __import__(modu le)
for part in module.split('. ')[1:]:
self.module = getattr(self.mo dule, part)
else:
self.module = module
if argv is None:
argv = sys.argv
so I see what you mean. Thanks. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I did this once and can't remember how <blush> so I read the
reportlab user guid. It says to unzip the reportlab archive - this
is on w2k, BTW, with Python23 - to a directory and make a file
called reportlab.pth in the pythod dir. The only line in this file
is supposed to be the path to the reportlib dir.
Then I'm instructed to open the ... ok I'll close and reopen ... the

I added the possibility for tests using the unittest.py framework
to be skipped. Basically, I added two methods to TestCase:
TestCase.skip(msg): skips unconditionally
TestCase.skipIf(expr, msg): skips if expr is true
These can be called either in setUp() or in the test methods. I also
added reporting of skipped tests to TestResult, _TextTestResult and

I have a logger class that uses the Python logging module. When I
call it within a program using the unittest module, I get one line in
the log file for the first test, two identical ones for the second,
etc. I'm using local variables, which should go out of context with
each test. Setting the 'propagate' property to False doesn't have any
affect.

Morning! I'm writing my first Python program, so please have patience!
I'd like to redirect the output from my application's unit tests
("import unittest") to a Tkinter Text object. I found the magic to
redirect stdout and stderr:
sys.stdout = myTextWindow
sys.stderr = myTextWindow
where myTextWindow inherits from Text and implements write() and
writelines().

Howdy all,
Question: I have Python modules named without '.py' as the extension,
and I'd like to be able to import them. How can I do that?
Background:
On Unix, I write programs intended to be run as commands to a file
with no extension. This allows other programs to use the command as an
interface, and I can re-write the program in some other language

Hi,
Is there a way to pass arguments to TestCases when running tests? I have
a test suite that need to be configured slightly differently for 3
different products, and rather than do a hack I wondered if there was a
canonical way to do it.
I _know_ that py.test can do it trivially. I am rather stuck with
unittest, as I have 84 testcases, and I have to make it work tomorrow.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
